NASHVILLE, TN – NOVEMBER 11: Quarterback Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots drops back to throw a pass against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium on November 11, 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images) The bye week is supposed to be when the team gets healthy, but the New England Patriots are currently have a big injury concern. According to multiple beat reporters, quarterback Tom Brady missed practice on Friday. While the team has not released a reason for the absence, this is obviously bad news for the Patriots. No Tom Brady at the start...

PHILADELPHIA, PA – NOVEMBER 11: Wide receiver Amari Cooper #19 of the Dallas Cowboys is brought down by cornerback Rasul Douglas #32 of the Philadelphia Eagles in the first quarter at Lincoln Financial Field on November 11, 2018 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images) It’s crazy how much the Amari Cooper narrative has changed over the past month. Cooper was one of the most inconsistent players in fantasy with the Oakland Raiders, constantly infuriating his owners. He’d either record over 100 yards and a score or two catches for 15 yards, and there was really no in-between....

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – NOVEMBER 22: Quarterback Mark Sanchez #6 of the New York Jets is sacked by the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium on November 22, 2012 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Al Pereira/New York Jets/Getty Images) Thanksgiving is one of the most important days of the year in America. It’s a day to spend time with family and reflect on all the blessings in your life. It’s also a day to remember perhaps the greatest play in the history of sports: The Butt Fumble. Back on Thanksgiving Day, 2012, the New England Patriots took...

DETROIT, MI – SEPTEMBER 23: Rex Burkhead #34 of the New England Patriots during a run against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on September 23, 2018 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images) After having running backs with set roles for the first time in years, the New England Patriots are back in a state of uncertainty. Running back Rex Burkhead has started practicing and could be activated off the short-term IR list for Week 13. Dual-threat running backs of his caliber aren’t usually available at this point in the season, and Burkhead has the chance to be...

NASHVILLE, TN – NOVEMBER 11: Quarterback Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots scrambles during a NFL game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium on November 11, 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Ronald C. Modra/Sports Imagery/Getty Images) Normally in the week leading up to a game, I like to write an article about how the New England Patriots can defend the incoming offense. However, with this being Jets week, there’s really not much to write about. The New York Jets are arguably the worst team in the league and cannot get out of their own way....

FOXBOROUGH, MA – OCTOBER 14: Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots interacts with Josh Gordon #10 of the New England Patriots before a game with the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium on October 14, 2018 in Foxborough, Massachusetts. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images) One of the biggest beneficiaries of Week 11’s action was a team that didn’t even play. Despite being on the bye week, the New England Patriots had just about everything go right in Week 11. The Patriots, currently 7-3, do not control their own playoff destiny, so they’ll need some help if they...

BUFFALO, NY – OCTOBER 29: Rob Gronkowski #87 of the New England Patriots during NFL game action against the Buffalo Bills at New Era Field on October 29, 2018 in Buffalo, New York. (Photo by Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images) New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has not played up to his lofty standards thus far in 2018. That’s not to say that he’s been bad, as he’s put up a respectable 29 receptions for 448 yards and a touchdown in seven games. However, this is a far stretch from the usual Rob Gronkowski production. The big tight end has been...

BALTIMORE, MD – NOVEMBER 18: Running Back Gus Edwards #35 of the Baltimore Ravens runs with the ball in the fourth quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium on November 18, 2018 in Baltimore, Maryland. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images) The fantasy football season is officially in its final stretch. With the trade deadline passed in the majority of leagues, the only way to improve your roster is through smart waiver claims. No matter how good your roster is, you’ll need to make at least one or two moves on the waiver wire to win your championship. With...

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – NOVEMBER 18: Quarterback Jameis Winston #3 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looks to pass against the New York Giants during the fourth quarter at MetLife Stadium on November 18, 2018 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
